Its not terrible. Lets start there. But 1. Lekkermaki is no where near ready to play in the NHL let alone the top 6????? Seriously that's almost egregious. 2. Secondly in what world do you think Desmith decides to stay with the Canucks when he could get more than double that amount anywhere else, in the last couple years of his career. This is almost worse than #1. 3. Depending on Tanev to continue to play on the top defensive pairing is inane. Check Calgary's place in the standings to see how well thats working out.
Ultimately your making exactly the same mistake as Toronto did with the addition of Tavares. Top heavy. BTW, i'd rather have a Dman that can hit and play a full season and occasionally fight than Tanev.
